FIXING THE RESPONSIBILITY.
From the Little Rock Daily Gazette.

From the Little Rock Daily Gazette.
Fort Smith Times The base ball disas-
ter which overlook our cause at Wichita
Monday, has turned our bounding spirits
down hill and put our teeth on edge. If
there were any grounds for belaboring the
umpire with the scorpion whip of sarcasm
we would gladly pound him to pulp, but,
alas. the figures stacked around our miser-
able collection of nine bad COOS eggs are
too colossal to be overturned with sheer.
Logic, rhetoric, hyperbole, balderdash,
insinuation, inuendo. alas, all are para
lived. We can only look stern duty in the
face and fix the awful responsibility where
1t belongs. Let the men who are response
BILE for this crushing defeat stand up while
the clerk takes down their names. Real
estate agents. it is you whom
the pen of the historian must
impale on the altar OF local
pride as the guilty parties. 1t was you
who lured the boys onto the shoals and
wrecked the barQue of our vaunted boast
ings. 1t was you who shattered the shield
of our proves 1t was you that set the
trap that overturned the splendid temple
of our glowing pride. 1t was you that
baited the golden hooks that caused US to
nibble In the saline tide of Kansas. 1t was
you that sang the siren song that lured our
beloved Choctaws on to the stranger dia-
mond of the willy Kansas red flag. All
yes, real estate man, sorrowful be thy
portion Oh, knights Of the soil, chin
music and corner lots, in an unguarded mo-
ment, YOU said ii would advertise Us.
And such advertising! Shades OF Franklin
and Hostetters stomach bitters lie still,
But, perhaps, you didn't know Wichita
was loaded. Perhaps you hadn't heard
they have pitcher coming by express,
who had sweep to his arm like the stroke
TO a forty herse engine, and who threw a
ball that looked like meteor on dress
parade.
II the real estate men didn't know these
things, we forgive them; If they did then
let them remember that truth, though
crushed to terra firms, will get on its pas
tern joints and howl again.
Moral: Beware Of The jayhawker.

Kiowa counties Corn promises well gen
erally-averages little bigger in Sedg-
wick, but saw few patches near the town
of Stafford good as the best.-The six
counties named will hardly have enough
wheat this year to bread them. Pratt has
little the best showing and will probably
sell some at mean price to shippers and
buy it back at an exhorbitant figure, ere
another crop.
Pratt City is moving out her wooden
buildings and putting in number OF sub
stantial bricks Her city property is com
manding good figures and upon the whole
it looks as if the people would yet have to
give her the county seat. Greensburg diff
